What is a tooth extraction?
A tooth extraction involves fully removing the tooth from the gum socket, also known as “pulling” a tooth.
When is tooth extraction recommended?
Tooth removal is recommended when there is no other way to restore the tooth. Severe tooth decay or gum disease, crowded teeth, an impacted tooth, and fractured or impacted teeth can all necessitate tooth extraction.
Procedure Details
We start by assessing the affected tooth and surrounding gums, often using dental X-rays to evaluate bone levels and determine the extent of any damage. Please inform your dentist about any medications, vitamins, or supplements you are taking. Once all relevant information is gathered, we will discuss your treatment plan and sedation options in detail.
The extraction site is numbed using local anaesthetic. If necessary, we offer different types of sedation to ensure your comfort, particularly for patients with dental anxiety. Options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or intravenous (IV) sedation for deeper relaxation.
Surgical extractions may be required for complex cases where a tooth requires more time and effort to remove. For simpler cases, a non-surgical approach is sufficient. In both types of procedures, we use specialised tools to loosen and gently remove the damaged tooth from its socket.
If stitches are needed, we use dissolvable sutures that dissolve naturally within a few days and do not require removal. Once the anaesthetic wears off, we will prescribe pain relief medication to help manage any discomfort.
Our dentists are fully qualified and experienced in administering various types of anaesthesia, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
